Bumped into Jo75 of this forum at Whiteway's, he was enroute to the lanes , to get this gleaming white Tenere all muddied up! Steve

Hey Steve, bit less shiny now, I have promised myself not to clean it so quickly now!..going to leave it for bit!..otherwise I might need some help with my addiction!!..

Looking good Jo75.
It's no bad thing keeping it clean, it's usually in the cleaning process you find the loose nuts & bolts that would otherwise go unnoticed until whatever they were holding on eventually falls off.
I do also the your bike has the perfect balance of painted in white panels too.

Thanks desert racer, when you do clean it as much as I do you do get to know every inch!..regarding the painted panels, I'm thinking of painting the larger ones on the tank, just can't quite decide!..

I know what you mean, I keep looking at mine pondering ideas. I remember reading in one of JaumeV's write up about painting the big tank panels black or white? ....decisions....decisions....I suppose if you could pick up a cheap second set of plastics then have each set in different colours then swap them over as the mood takes you.

@jo75: Don't think longer about it and do it next winter - look at my blacky one on the last travelweek:


I also did the panels under the seat and the back-rack .

It remembers me to my old 600-T�n's with the massive tank.
